They have an entire forest - sure they don't have polysturene packaged foods, but they literally have wildlife and food and plants all around them. Grazing and hunting is common as going grocery shopping!
How was it when they find it ? I know some kingdoms they destroyed , and created ethnic tensions , some African were tribal lifestyle ,. idk about congo
OMG, you are right! France left that country in bad shape. So they have nothing to claim. If the Russians help them, it is ok to me because France didn't do anything for centuries.
@@rediettadesse2828 Africa was never tribal but kingdoms. Tribes was the tag the colonizer labelled them to make it look like they can never govern themselves after erasing their history and stolen their wealth.
So interesting to hear this from a French reporter calling CAR an impoverished country. France has been impoverishing this country since it came under their control in the 1900s
What do you expect, I just discovered that france24 is a French state owned media 😂😂. It belongs to France media group , which is owned 100% by French government.
How many years, decades has France exerted influence in the Central African Republic? A very dismal one indeed. I wish the Brothers and Sisters in the Central African Republic all the best.
France has been in central Africa republic from the 16th century, from the days of slavery to a few years ago. They even imposed on us their French language plus keep our monies (CFA) in France in addition to make our country pay for colonial tax and they had the right of usage of all our natural resources. Would I be wrong to lift the yoke of my neck. I have been the equivalent of George Floyd with the racist white police with a knee on my neck. France must be kicked out of Afrika completely plus her French language.
Russia can survive without Africa but France can't survive without Africa....As a fellow African living in Kenya, I am happy change is coming for former French colonies.
France lost more money than it invested in Africa actually, because the money generated made the individuals, not the State wealthy. This country will crumble without France more than the other way round. "France can't survive without Africa" look at the number of Frenchmen in Africa, then the number of Africans in France...
Its sad we as African cannot do anything by ourselves. Its either we are begging for financial support or security support. The problems of modern day Africa are her leaders(Misleaders) Presidents ,Monarchs and Prime Ministers. Indeed we are our own problem.
I grew up in DR Congo and lived there as an adult. I support your saying here. Most local politicians are only interested in their own belly and pockets and couldn't care less about their countrymen and women. This has nothing to do with the heritage from the colonizer. Same goes with Central African Republic. Any financial or development help from the West just vanish when it arrives the African country. The love of the country is lacking and everyone is for himself or herself.
@Kemar Tucker This was the Same format the colonial rulers used. Military alliance to fight of feuding tribes or raiders which eventually led to they colonising us, dividing us some and plundering our resources till this day. What Africa needs is unity and citizens who are policy and generational thinking when it comes to electing leaders and not based on tribal lines. If you take a careful look at the political space across Africa tribe and religion are respected and considered more over policies and its implementation by electorates
imagine going to a country you helped ruin and divide, having the people there tell you they appreciate Russian support and then saying that they're wrong as if you know more than the very people who live there.
Ask your government to stop to stop the Lithium war in Mali. It is their own resource and they have given it to the Chinese. What positive thing can you boost of in Africa apart from the Colonial Tax you devour them to pay forcefully?
why? Every citizen of Africa need to hold their leaders accountable, remove any remanence of colonialism and become a major player in the world stage NOT trade one colonizer for another.
Even the Taliban admitted it was a mistake to fight soviet union who literally built infrastructure in Afghanistan and made the society more moderate with actual women rights and education. Instead they believed and were funded by Americans and that let to destruction of Afghanistan. Same has happened to a lot of African countries where soviet union also tried to bring education and development,instant overthrows of anyone who is friendly or neutral to Russia. Yes Russia is trying to gain influence and make some money,but in equal manner,by bringing up these people out of starvation and poverty,building infrastructure,giving good quality education,creating jobs and raising up salaries in return to 20% of their resources,it's an equal trade.It's an untapped economy that west doesn't want to develop.Russia and China will,Africa will become a safe thriving region once the western boot is kicked out. I already hear how much safer it has become once French were kicked out and Russian Wagner took over and actually started taking out the terrorist groups and what western media did? accused Russians of mass slaughter of actual terrorist groups ofc not mentioning that they are terrorists.
Seems France 24 is butthurt. Let CAR decide for themselves. Aligning with France for 50 years clearly has done them no favors as they today are one of the poorest countries in the world.
@@harukrentz435 exactly… for people that don’t like the people on the continent, France has so much interest in who is there. You’d think they’d be in bliss if they just forgot about the continent with all the blacks in it and focused on Europe
Europeans and Americans criticized everyone else that comes to help our African Nations! It forget about they invaded Africa and did nothing for Africa nor have any good impact towards Africa!
There's no atrocities that Russia can commit in Africa that can be close to what the French and other Europeans have done and are doing in Africa. We are waiting for when France 24 will do the a documentary on the looting and other atrocities France is committing in Africa.
Big difference from EU colonial powers and Russia is that Russia respects Africa, does not meddle into internal affairs and does not telling them what to do and how to live. Also Russia does not need recourses from them, it already has plenty of owns.
Let us speak the facts if you do something good to someone they will tank you. There is nothing wrong with helping homeless and hungry people for a longtime. They deserve it the help from the Russian as the French are not doing enough to save those kids
Russia has always stood with African nations. Kenya has greatly benefited from good cooperation with Russia, from arms to fertilisers and other things.
France , after colonial brutality across the world , is now going overboard to preach human values . If Asia and Africa unite we can teach these Europian regimes the lesson our forefathers could not teach .
listening to France 24 is like listening to a bitter and abusive "love" who has lost touch with reality. you still want to dictate set the terms of a relationship of your ex even in your absence . pathetic
Talking of Wagner group as mercenaries has me disqualify this Macron channel! Wagner group is a legitimate group affiliated with the Russian home land security. In Central Africa and Mali they are playing the role of peace keeping and to help local governments in the fight against terrorists, who are sponsored by the west
As a European i support Russia influence in Central Africa. When they said they don't want French harmful policies and the things that come with that, I felt that!
It's so easy to get into the minds of impoverished people and people without much education to help analyze what certain decisions can Influence the future
It only takes 1 very intelligent human to speak to several crowds and the crowd blindly follows as the enemy of the people is burning thier books and denying education wich makes knowledge equaling freedom in long term. For any people's
The person who feel the suffering and pain don't know what they feel and experience. If you get a child is uneducated he or she can tell who show love or hate.
Tear drop for France, don't think any more about the colonizers. Keep developing your natural resource and tie up your relationship with your African brothers.
Well my opinion is we do not need any of the colonies because no one comes to help without thinking of what they're going to gain. They should leave Central Africa Republic alone and Africa at large.
The African continent welcome and accept mother Russia , Kremlin always help the Africans throughout history is on records period said majority of the African continent period....................
222 I know they weren't listening down here in New Mexico to any of the peace treaties and it wasn't just us we were sending out a protest call just like I hear from you I was just trying to handle it before all that happened and there wasn't enough sensitivity training until I got to the Departments that get hurt when the other departments haven't gotten listened to it was very tragic because that was already happening in causing all that impoverishment and imprisonments we were speaking against it unanimously to build a new housing facility that cleans the ocean and when we do that everything else in our environments will come back down
Western countries European Countries all they supply is arms to flight there neighbours instead of having conversations And peace peace peace peace peace
It’s interesting to hear the “Russian Propaganda machine” as if the French don’t use propaganda. The French came to Africa for the same reason as the Russians.
Africa needs to start teaching its people the real history . Russia helped the continent to overcome colonization and South Africa with apartheid. Russia is a friend of all weather in Africa but become we are a British education system , no African knows the truth .
The funny thing is that both the colonial master (France) and The Kremlin have got the same national colours with almost the same proportions in their flags!!!! Could this be a wash-out transition just from one master to another!!!!
What is wrong if Central African republic is under Russian influence ? Mist of Africa has been under American and European influences for centries with little progress. Let progressive African nations rise up and support Russia.
You only talk about the negative side,and you forget how Russian helps many african countries,francy have stolen more valuable goods from Congo n other coutries
Tell the world the atrocities France 🇫🇷 Britain and part of Europe did to Africa, Europe is reaping the fruit of its colonial past, stop the media warfare and admit to France atrocities
1929 didn't anyone read the directions you're only supposed to defend yourself and defending yourself to me means working together to have the best for everyone how they lose that understanding anywhere?
Hoping you will also report on French colonization in Africa and continued exploitation in CAR and other African countries where there is destabilization and exploitation of other Western. As an African I say there needs to be a balance view of the situation.
@@tuforu4 this is a completely false statement. Search up all the universities with High Africans in them in Europe and they come to about 50,000. MAXIMUM. Calm down.
How long did Central African republic stay under your French influence? Who blamed you? You went as far as toppling governments as you wished. You made Bokasa an Emperor to later humiliate him and chase him like a dog. Those Russians are not mercenaries. They are invited by a legitimate Government just as you are present in the Sahel region of Africa.
So sad that Africans are USED by ALL and sundry. First the French, then the Chinese, Now the Russians! it is as if these people are children, can't help themselves, have to have people OUTSIDE to do things for them?!Don't they know that the Russians are there to exploit them also?! My heart bleeds for the people of Africa.
Wish all others African Countries follow the same path welcoming Russians to help protect and get rid of colonizers like France, British, Americans, Belgians and so on.
@@wilsonjean7745 What if Russians later on become colonizers? Its high time Africa unite and protect its self. No need for outsiders to fight our battles. We cannot remain the sick man of the world anymore.
@@rufaroshumba08 Unite with who? This unity talk sounds like children with no brain talking. It's easy to make noise, but you bring no strategy for this "unity.."
But if truth be told all these foreign powers are the same, their approaches may differ but the reality is that they all want to strengthen their economies by looting our resources
Truth be told, the influence of the west in Africa is never favourable. It usually comes with a systematic means of exploitation. We should be able to hold our own and coordinate our affairs ourselves and not rely on outsiders to do it for us.
Atleast Russia has a history of helping African countries attaining their endependence and then leaving Africa alone..for some 500 years history is there and speaks louder
As an African who’s also an academician I can categorically say this that just like most African nations, Russia is very rich and blessed with any natural resources like oil and the rest of them; in fact Russia is the main oil supplier to many European countries, and so do not really need any thing from CAR. They only want more allies and supporters around the globe.
